heh, i love my 4th gen. they are so sexy :thumbup: of course im biased but i like the sorta boxy look. also, yes i like 92-93 lights better than 90-91, simpler is better

 

Same here. I am on my 2nd 4th generation Accord too.. 91 => 93..
I love the body style. My family and co-workers keep telling me to get newer Korean cars, but I can't pass up on the Accord. I found out that my local Honda repair shop can do the H22A swap.. So I am going to start saving up some money ... after fixing up the little problems..

IMO... 4G Accord Rules!!

 

Wow, so much appreciation for both models...what to do?! :ugh:

What's different about the EX besides leather, alloys and a V-6 option (none of which I want)?

 

Well, for the late 4th gen it's alloys, sunroof, 140hp, 4-2-1 header, dual tip exhaust, hmm, what else?

 

on the 5th gens. it is the better engine, sunroof, alloys at least

 

I say go with a 4th gen!!!

 

if u are planning on mod'ing down the line do the 5th gen for sure there is alot more room in the engine bay. many 4th gen'r complain about fitment issues when doing swaps and installs of boltons. also the body lines of the 5th gen gives alot more for body work. many outside kits can be refitted to fit the 5th gen.

 

Well I think...I'm definitely digging the LX, even though I wouldn't mind a sunroof. I just don't like the alloys the EX cars come with, and I don't want to spend money to replace them with good wheels. I like the 9-spoke wheel covers here...

I also don't like the leather seats, they're too hard. My IS has some pretty soft leather and this perforated imitation-suede material (called "escaine"), and I swear these are the sweetest seats known to mankind, but I'd rather just go with the cloth Accord ones than slide around on the hard, shiny leather ones.

The V-6 would be cool to drive if I got a 96+, except its harder and more expensive to fix, and I have a loooong commute so mileage comes into play. And I don't need that much acceleration to be happy anyway...I mean, I've got this IS but I don't goose it all that often, really. I drive like a Grandma. :driving:

 

Which model of EX? alloys are you talking about? 5G EX alloys are great... 4G EX alloys its ok. Think this way.. You can just buy the standard used Honda alloys really cheap.. So don't just think about the alloys and get LX... I would recommand EX.. Moonroof better engine.. for 4G.. front lip / rear sway bar.. etc..

EX => No leather interior.. SE => Leather interior..

 

definitely go with the 5th gen.
